Kelowna residents gathered yesterday at the city’s historic Laurel Packing House to talk about the Royal BC Museum’s modernization efforts.
About 20 people were in attendance at yesterdays forum, including a representative from the B.C. government’s ministry of tourism, arts and culture, and representatives of the museum itself.
“This is in very initial stages. Very open questions. It just gives people a chance to say what they think about the museum, what it means to them, and how they connect with the museum as a province,” said Joanne Orr, deputy CEO of the Royal BC Museum.
